Quote: Horatio Yed "Passionate fans yes but the ground is a bit lifeless and can put some off, i go to both London and Wire games and the difference in atmosphere is vast.

London games feel like Sunday dinner with the family and Wire games feel like a night out with lads'"


Atmos was much better at Brentford but can still be good when we are playing ok. I'm hoping Brisbane Road will offer a better atmos and long term solution.

Did you ever go to Wilderspool when the club wasnt top of the league

Of course the HJ is going to be bouncing when you have the best team in the country

Many fans would argue that Wilderspool had a better atmosphere than the HJ with less fans, personally i preferred the feeling i had back at The Zoo than the HJ, hoping the new corners help hold the noise in.

Have you been tapping my phone? icon_eek.gif
The issue with Londons ESL team is that after 16 years of 100% neglect of any Marketing Strategy at all, the opportunity to organically grow bit by bit, may well have gone.
I get the impression that DH is not prepared to spend on the promotion of the Game as well as propping up the games expansion franchise......I have to say, I agree with him.

Why SLY TV won't do to London what they did for the Storm I have no idea..... d040.gif

Quote: Wales for super L "Most jobs that have a London weighting, its a couple of thousand pounds, it seems in RL its a couple of hundred thousand pounds



A few thousand pounds??? Ok.... here is an example. I've checked a property website. I don't know (nor am I picking on Leeds) but here is a 4 bedroom house for sale -

www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... 35862.html

£50k

Here is a house in London (again 4 bedrooms) -

www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for ... 97166.html

£190k

Now, both areas of these are probably not the best to live and I'm sure you can get far nicer (and more expensive house) in both cities....but the point is that sort of price is the difference on every run of the ladder.

Hence the need for London players to be paid far more!

i preferred the atmosphere at the zoo you couldn't beat the banging on the old corrugated iron and the bounce that went on there i miss wilderspool for the atmosphere that you could hear in the town centre an d the walk over the bridge and causeway had your nerves jangeling

SE2.....that's south of the stream and any further east it would be in Kent.......the description says "freehold", although it looks very much lile ex-council.
Bracondale Road, Abbey Wood, London, SE2...google it and then hit streetview....makes Brentford look like Mayfair icon_lol.gif
